When you put those 2 short boards is that the permanent position? Do they get any adjustments? The 2 from my view so behind factory are even where yours a little lower . Doe that make a difference? Just asking. For future reference.
It does not. Most of the time we make the frame ties as I call them a bit lower so when we are faring the frames they are out of the way because they may be hard to plane with the grain being in the opposite direction. Most of the time in Chris Craft's they were lower, and the bottom was not fastened to it. Thanks for watching.
This is America. The same product is called many different things all across this country. If you left your mommy's basement once in awhile you would know that.
Another awesome video. Very well done! Thanks for sharing it with us all!
So cool to hear all the tricks to get it just right, a real master at work!
what type of wood do you use on these boat bottoms?
Great video where are you getting your mahogany Mike ?
I get it through LL Johnson Lumber Co. They are in mid Michigan and you can find them online.

Is that the twin engine Sportsman that popped up for sale awhile ago all taken apart?
It was in south California and yes it was upside down and taken apart so it probably is. 1950 25' Chris Craft Sportsman twin engine.
Thank you for putting these videos together!!
What type of wood are you using for the frames?
What about the screws and bolts?
Love your show but there is no such tool as an adjustable square. The tool is called a sliding T- bevel.

Boat builders have been calling this a bevel gauge since long before Howard Chapelle wrote about it.
